#DigBH250

We are just about at our maximum depth of 4 feet (OSHA rule) and are starting to find larger stone deposits that may be a wall or footing. We’re hoping we’ve (finally) reached the 18th century! #digBOS #digCTown #digBH250 #Boston250 #digBoston250 #dig250 #BOBH250 #BH250

Just found a local 1924 Hood milk bottle while excavating through upper fills of a possible fountain feature

We have uncovered what turned out to be a fairly large oval brick feature that locals say was a fountain dating to the time before the church was built. If that’s the case, it is a rare early 19th century part of the Dexter-Bridge garden

Photo from above of a rectangular hole in the ground with brown dirt vans north arrow visible

Photo of a hand holding a white ceramic with blue lines

Can you spot the feature?
We have found a 4-meter (so far) curved sandy feature. We’re hoping it is a path from the early-19th-century Dexter-Bridge gardens. Also early 19th century ceramic

Day one of our Charlestown 250 Archaeology adventure! Starting off behind the Christ Church Charlestown, 10 Green St.

In 1775, the this was the pasture of John and Katherine Hay. After the battle, it became the gardens of the Dexter Estate
